Nope.  Security geeks are tough!

(There is no official break.  According to the exam rules, one person at a time 
may be allowed to take a break at the back of the room.)

No computer-based exam system has been found with the necessary level of 
security.

Paper only, 250 multiple choice questions.

education.
